OUR
PRIORITIES

The Group recognises the need for effective communication to help understand the contribution forestry is making to our economic, social and environmental well-being and to encourage local people to become part of this exciting story.

Communication

To promote forestry’s contribution to social, economic and environmental health. We seek dialogue, understanding and collaboration with councils and communities.

Environment

To seek improvement in forestry’s environmental performance. We recognise shortcomings and bring knowledge, context and balance to policy change.

Employment
